Waverly Beach

This seemed like such a fun spot to check out during the summer with their lakeside patio equipped with a tiki bar and live music. Located right on Lake Winnebago, Waverly Beach is in prime location to show up by boat as well. In the past I had split a pepperoni pizza here and have also tried their Margherita flatbread. I felt as though both the pizza and flatbread were very oily/greasy. On one occasion we were told to seat ourselves upon arrival, but were ignored at our table for a good 15 minutes while we watched a handful of servers and staff at the bar right by us chatting before someone finally came over.I wanted to give this place another try since it has such a cool location and the vibes outside are so fun. However, Waverly's food has consistently been a flop for me and their service is hit or miss. After trying their Brisket Mac & Cheese during our most recent visit I knew I wouldn't be returning. I didn't even end up finishing my meal. The flavor combination was just not right and the cheese was a big grease pool. Their fried cheese curds were even lackluster. I'm almost positive they were reheated. Maybe I'm picking the wrong items on the menu here but after giving Waverly Beach three chances, they've officially struck out for me. We will not be returning.

BEE prepared! I had a tiki-rific time there! I watched a wedding from my spot from afar, which was a lovely sight against the lake's rhythm. The bar buzzed with bees, a bit of a sting in my comfort zone due to my allergy, but I still enjoyed the tiki bar. Due to bees and flies crawling among the limes, lemons, and olives, I avoided drinking with drink garnishes. Despite that, the drinks flowed, the staff was friendly, and I am all set to try the food next time inside. Even with the bees, it was a tropical paradise in Wisconsin! Just a heads up, my review might shift once I get a taste of the food. BEE prepared!

I wanted to love this place. The view is what gives it its main stars and I wanted to give it more. The service was good outside. Inside, forget about it. No one knew how to have someone buy merch. And no one would talk to us as we stood at the bar for over 20 minutes on a not-so-busy service evening. It was messy and kinda grungy.. but outside was beautiful. Food was a 3/5.

Decided to give it one more shot this year. Haven't been there since last year. The inside Bartender could not care less if we are standing at the bar. By the way two bars, maybe four people sitting at the bar. The outside music used to be a go to place, not anymore. Took forever to get our food as usual. It was not very hot. Fries were advertised as natural cut, they were not. These are coated french fries. We spent just about $200 drinks and food for four adults and two kids. The waitress was very nice, but not trained. We sat at our table for about 30 minutes after we're done eating and she never cleared the table. So we paid and left, It's a beautiful place but I won't be back until I hear people talking about great things there. They need to bring back good music. Sorry to say, but the two guys on Sunday Father's Day were terrible. Oh, one other thing, the first three items we ordered on the menu they were out of.

Sorry we suggested WB for a fish fry for our out of town guests. Tough fish and poor mixed drinks. Band that night was too loud to enjoy conversation. Wait staff did their best but it takes an organization for the whole experience. Look closely at the reviews here and alter your approach or the remodel will be a waste.

We used to enjoy going to Waverly. Food was never the best but was OK. We just ate there tonight as it was a beautiful day to sit by the water. The food however was quite bad. I had fried shrimp and the breading was so thick and hard, it was hard to taste the shrimp. My wife had a pasta dish that was so full of garlic and hard bacon, that it was hard for her to eat it. And this being Wisconsin, you would expect great cheese curds. The curds were weird and mushy inside. Never tasted such bad curds like this before.Most likely will not be going back.

I went to Waverly twice last week for the outdoor atmosphere.On Monday, I went for happy hour and the wait for a drink was about 30 minutes (although not busy). We also never received our BOGO deal as they advertised.Friday, while busier, was much worse. My server gave incorrect drinks multiple times and then after having friends join us, told us she was unable to split the bill. There was zero attention given to our table to the point where one of our friends never got a meal which went unnoticed until she brought out the bill (1 hour after bringing food out). He ordered bang bang shrimp tacos, and just got the bang bang sauce (which he still had to pay for). Because she didn't allow us to split the bill, there was a 20% gratuity added. I understand why businesses do this, but the lack of attention did not deserve this large of a tip especially when you can see servers standing in circles on their phones. I am disappointed, because the food and ambiance has improved over the years, but it is no longer affordable for the lack of service.

Atmosphere food soda great example how to live my burger With pepper jack and allThe trimmings was just perfectAnd our waiter was on top of the waitress game

Since they are on the water we opted to sit outside. There is small bees just a FYI. Our party of 4 ordered a salad, 2 flat breads and the Salmon. Salad I was told was good. One flat bread came out cold. My salmon the rice and especially the broccoli was cold. Sent both back but did not come out much better. Doubt I will be back. too many other better places to eat.

Went to Waverly Beach to enjoy a meal with family members a couple of nights ago. Music was so loud that we had to shout orders at our wait staff. We asked if there was any way to lower the volume a bit. Wait staff said they would ask. Received our meals with wrong sides and such (maybe wait staff could not clearly hear our orders?), with wait staff stating that the DJ had been approached but would not lower the music volume. So, we ate our wrong orders as quickly as we could and got the heck out of there, as it was not possible to carry on the conversations that make for a family dining experience. Food was good but not great...won't be going back!
